Re: [compost_tea] Re: seaweeds
This must definitely be Elaine's influence on me...
 
Has anyone actually seen a trace mineral assay on kelp? I had to have one done on our fish hydrolysate and I would love to compare the two. It was very difficult to find a lab that was able to do the work.
 
Thanks,
Jeff Young

Hi all...more on kelp and seaweeds
I think kelp and seaweed contain a lot of mucilage, which is exactly 
what it sounds like, kind of snotty stuff (sometimes I get a little 
grossed out when I prepare seaweed for cooking...it definately needs 
to be rinsed!). Plant roots secrete the same kind of stuff and it is 
a great polysaccharaide resource for bacteria in the rhizosphere. I 
bet the guys in your tea would absolutely love it. 
Take care,
Allison

 Anyone done testing on varieties other than the North 
Atlantic Kelp?  For example, I made a great Japanese salad the other 
day and used Arame seaweed. I soaked it, as per directions, and then 
thought about the soaking liquid.....any thoughts?
